N. truncata questions

[meateater]

I'm learning something new every time I ask questions on this forum! My truncata turns red under late morning sunlight and I thought it got sun burn. I'll keep that in mind.
Night temperature is probably my biggest problem since there's no way I can sleep at 25C Outdoor night temperature won't get to 25C either. If it doesn't like 20-22C I'll have to figure something out.

25C is pretty high for night time temps.

For what it's worth, my lowlands have daytime highs between 28-32c and nights around 20-22C. Keeping them in a dome definitely insulates them a little bit.

can only tell you what i see and record in the wild ! after spending many many weeks in the low land jungles in Borneo and other country's that habit low land and high land nepenthe's , this is what the temps are mostly , 2 season wet and dry , dry is hot and low rainfall high humidity , highland same wet and dry season , temps are cooler with altitude , rain fall is variable in both seasons in high land area and to which country you visit . have been doing trips to the nepenthe's countries for the past 12 or more years usually spend a month or more in the jungles and mountains , all climate are variable as in the jungles too , but when i have been its usually steady
meateater, if your N.truncata is turning red it possibly mean you have the red from that has been around now for some time , this form dose turn reddish in good light , where standard truncata usually stays the greenish colour with now days some variation possibly to cross breading !

That's amazing experience, John!
I went to check the label, it is a red truncata I will figure out how to give it more light than it already has!
